Beautiful scenery and town. Shopping and services are close, but in 5 or 10 minutes walking you can be in the mountains with natural hot spring streams or 15 minutes skiing. Bustling and quiet at the same time.

Nice old fashioned hotel, even though it’s a bit outdated. But it keeps their own tradition since 19 century. Really enjoy the Onsen - hot springs ♨️ 😊

central location hotel.
Hotel located right in front of 湯畑 and 5 min walk to bus terminal. Outside of hotel is renovated but Inside of hotel a bit aged. Dinner buffet offered many choices though we chose to take the second shift at 7:30 pm. We were a bit disappointed as some dishes were half finished and not replaced with fresh / hot ones.

Solo stay overnight trip
While there was a little hiccup at the Kusatsu Bus Terminal pickup, my overall stay at the Annex was generally pleasant. It could have been made better to allow me to pay separately at check-in for dinner and breakfast since I was unable to make these choices during booking for single pax.

Suck A Relaxing Place
This place was amazing. It's a very short drive from the ski slopes. It was so relaxing to go to the onsen (hot spring bath) after skiing. The hotel is a 2 minute walk from the show and the back entrance leads straight to the outdoor famous view. The hotel is also about a 3 minute walk to the street with all the bars. There is an indoor and outdoor Onsen separate male and females. The place was very clean and very comfortable. The futon measures are a little thinner and pillows are slightly harder than I'd prefer. The stay was wonderful. The dinner and breakfast busts have so many varieties.

Perfect mountain and Onsen getaway near Tokyo
Perfect little getaway spot with private in room bathroom and gender separate Onsen (hot springs spa) available to guests. Our room was traditional Japanese bedding which the hotel staff set during dinner. Buffet dinner and breakfast options available were great. Don't expect a luxury stay here, but it is a nice facility (under remodel when we visited in August 2016). They cover all the basics including a Yukata available for use while staying there. Staff is friendly and helpful. Walk around town and through the small shops and restaurants makes for a nice afternoon.

Great location, great staff.
Hotel Ichii is an older property but in a great location in the middle of town just in front of the yubitake. Gender separated hot springs within the hotel are available. There is a small private ryokan behind the main building at the base of the hill that offers private bathing for couples or families. The staff is extremely courteous. Shuttle busses are available to & from the bus station. As it is a short walk from the station downhill to the hotel I would reccomend walking through the town to take in the shops along the way instead of using the shuttle. Meals are buffet style. Please be aware that many places in Kusatsu do not open early or stay open late. Definately would reccomend getting breakfast at the hotel and then exploring around town to find dinner. Please note that as of this posting th hotel was performing some construction that started about mid-day and did not get in the way of everyday hotel activities although a deck overlooking the yubitake was closed.

表示金額より請求金額が高くなります。
ホテルはそれなりですが、Hotels.com の対応が最悪です。表示金額(2万ほど)を参考に予約したが、請求金額が2万8000円でした。消費税、サービス料がかかるという表示が小さく書かれていたが、まさか2万に対し8000円もプラスされるとは何なのでしょう。 ホテルでは現金で入湯税など支払ったので、サービス料の8000円は意味不明。 申し込み直後から問い合わせしていますがhotels.com からは明確な回答もなし。 他のサイトからの申し込みを強くおすすめします。

晚上请勿关空调。
地段特别好,出门就是汤田,周边景点基本在10分钟左右路程,挺方便。酒店还有到车站的接驳车,早餐也不错,特别适合不喜欢吃生食的人。温泉场地挺大,户外风吕温泉水应该不是硫磺泉,挺清澈的,没有刺鼻味。唯一不足酒店内部设施有点旧,但还是挺整洁的。酒店空调很强,晚上睡觉时关了空调,结果还是没法盖被睡,时常掀开被子而冻醒。最好能提供薄一点被子或入住时提醒客人不要关空调睡,以免造成感冒。

子育て世代にはあまり優しくありませんでした
立地は素晴らしいです。浴場も広いです。しかし、ネガティブな事もいくつか感じましたので、下記に記します。 1) チェックイン手続きに2人しか対応していないこと 草津駅からのホテルの送迎バスでホテルに向かいました。20名ほどが同時に到着し、手続きが始まりました。私たちは乳幼児一人を連れた3名の家族連れでしたので、無理をせずに他の宿泊者の手続きが終わるのを待ちました。しかし、カウンターで対応されるホテルの方が2名しかおらず、私たちが手続きができるまでに30分かかりました。 2) 宿帳の記入 hotels.comから予約をしましたが、ほぼ同等の内容を手書き記入を求められました。大体の情報は既に持っているし、既にデータ化もされているはずなのに、なぜ同じ作業を求められるかが疑問でした。しかも、カウンターの方は記入後の情報を確認する事さえありませんでした。ルーティンで客に作業を求めるのではなく、なぜこのような情報が必要なのか考えて、簡略化できる方がよいのではないでしょうか。 3) 子育て世代に対する配慮のなさ 授乳ができるところを問い合わせたところ2階の古びたトイレを勧められました。子育てをしたことがスタッフの方であれば容易に想像ができると思いますが、あの古びたトイレで授乳はだれしもしたくないと思います。授乳室がないのであれば、部屋を仮に提供したり、少し早めにチェックインをさせるという措置があってもよいのではないでしょうか。私が手続きをしたのは13時45分で、部屋に入れるのは14時からという事で、入室はできませんでした。ホテルは私たちを30分待たせているくせに、私たちが15分早くチェックインすることは許可していただけませんでした。かなり時間に厳しいホテルなのだと思います。 4) 設備の古さ これはもうしょうがありませんが、寝具が古すぎます。もう少し快適なマットレスや枕を導入してはどうかと思いました。
